i also liked the old tournament style. it was always great fun wondering who was going to make it to the finals. of course how many times did a winning fighter have to withdraw due to injury or fatigue? even Royce Gracie pulled out of the finals once, after fighting Kimo. that caused Ken Shamrock to step out because he did'nt have anything to prove against anyone but Royce Gracie. that must have been a downer for anyone watching that UFC. "oh, we could have seen Ken fight Royce again but instead we get two alternates."
